Calvin had been walking down the road for about half of the day now, since the sun was well overhead and had been starting it descend back down towards the horizon, the road had been slightly more populated than the rest of his journey so far. He had to deal with 6 zombies so far today, one team of two and four separate. However that was something he expected since he was now getting closer to the dreaded Detroit since they had quite a large population it was eminent that more would wonder away along the roadway. Every vehicle along the road that Calvin had passed by he took a quick second to peek in the windows to see if there was anything valuable that he could use to survive.  He was fortunate that he hadn't come across a situation that required him to need a gun to survive because he would be out of luck for that scenario. That was one item that Calvin really wished that he had, it would make him feel quite a bit safer. 

	Calvin had never ventured very far from the interstate 94 since it was the easiest path to take, no worries about getting lost since he would just have to follow the road from Chicago straight through to Detroit. There were a few times that he had to get off the road because of a few hordes, luckily there had been some wooded area just to the side of the road that he had fully utilized avoiding a crisis situation. He was also thankful that he had a cellphone since he would feel pretty miserable not knowing how long he had been venturing along this highway, feeling like it was a never ending process. Just imagine if he didn't have this compass that he wore around his neck and a map. He had so much to be thankful for at the moment and was praying that he would make it back to his son rather than be a snack.

	While walking along Calvin had heard something that he hasn't heard in quite some time, however it had been a car that could have someone looking for their next camp meal. Calvin had been fortunate to have a car that was close by so he decided that he would jump behind the door and hope that they hadn't noticed him. However when he heard the driver of the vehicle slam on the brakes of the car he knew that was not the case. He took a deep breath and held the machete out in front of him, ready to defend himself if need be. The driver had overshot him by a couple of feet at least, however put the car in reverse and pulled up so that he was level with the door that he was crouched down behind. 
	The driver rolled down the window in the car, that sounded quite beat up but Calvin didn't have a deep knowledge of vehicles. Only when he knew something sounded or felt wrong, than he would usually take it over to his buddy who was a mechanic in return for a favour since dealers and automobile mechanics charged ridiculous rates.

	Calvin looked around making sure that this giant noise box didn't have any friendly followers behind it, since the place was clear he stood up so that he would get a look of the driver. [color=red] Why should I trust you? You just appear out of nowhere and casually offer me a ride, besides you are coming from the east driving west and I am coming from the west traveling east. It would be slightly irrelevant to go back the way I came. [/color] He didn't really mean to sound rude since it had been the first human that he had seen in quite some time but he wanted to be a little cautious, he didn't want to come all this way just to become a meal for a cannibal camp or something. 

	Calvin had started to take a small stretch and started to walk in-between the running vehicle and the parked car that he had used for cover. As he finished stretching he looked down the road and took a mental note of all the vehicles that were in front of him since he didn't want to get caught out in the open when the sun started to go down. Calvin was a little bummed, the first running vehicle and human that he had seen in days and they were going in the opposite direction. Just his luck, the only thing that stopped him from physically taking the car from the guy was that he could have been trying to do the same thing as he was, getting to someone he loved.
